Kalki Koechlin visits Kolkata, launches new product of Gillette Venus

Kalki was accompanied by dermatologist Dr. Rashmi Shetty.

Gillete claimed that Breeze is a razor which enables women to shave without any hesitation and provides glowing skin.

Speaking about the new product, Kalki said: "I think it is a very easy product to use. It is very quick and I really enjoy."{image_1}

Remembering her first experience of shaving, the national award winning actress said: " When I was in boarding (school), I used to buy low cost razors and was very afraid to grow thick hair but it was definitely a myth."

"I stole my dad's razor and probably had cut myself. I used his shaving foam too," she added.

Dr. Shetty busted all myths regarding shaving. "The most common myth is the hair growth will be faster after shaving but in reality, it doesn't. The number of hairs in any given part of the body is genetically and sex determined and not by the tool which we use" she said.{image_2}

"The hair when shaved by the razor, cuts it from the stem so it takes little time to grow giving a feeling of faster growth, unlike other methods where hairs are cut from roots" Dr. Shetty added, explaining the possible reason for the creation of such a myth.

Giving a sigh of relief to all women, she even said that the razor can be used for all forms of waxing including bikini waxing, but need to consult doctor before shaving facial hairs, as it occurs due to hormonal imbalance.
